In the small town of Fartsville, USA, a cow appeared—mysteriously, majestically, and profoundly flatulent. Her name is Betsy, and her wind carries prophecy. The Divine Udderance is a hilariously holy satire of modern faith, influencer culture, capitalism, and the sheer absurdity of worshipping a gas-blessed bovine. From jazz-fueled fart battles to gluten-free miracles, Betsy’s tale is one of unexpected enlightenment, complete with jazz bands, TikTok prophets, National Guard conversions, and a child who decodes her toots in Morse code.

"La scatola di cuoio vissuto era sistemata da sempre su un cassettone di legno massiccio nello studio di don Pantaleo, a San Clemente. Dal giorno di Natale del 1968 aveva colpito la fantasia di Antonio Forini, trentasei anni, magro, un po’ curvo, quasi calvo, lenti spesse da miope, strampalato, “un tipo che, fra centomila lire e un portachiavi di metallo, sceglie il portachiavi, senza pensarci due volte”". Un’insolita favola nera sull’invidia, l’avidità e i più bassi sentimenti umani.

Alexander Pope was fiercely critical of writers whom he considered to have little talent and whom he liked to nominate as dunces. His most encyclopedic examination of these apostles of dullness is the Dunciad, a long satirical saga first published in a three-book version in 1728. A variorium edition followed shortly afterwards in 1729. In 1742, Pope added a fourth book, and a new, complete edition was published in 1743.

Within the quiet walls of the Appleseed Rectory, a gorgeous five-bedroom, three-story home in rural England, anything goes: the drugs are consumed with gusto, the booze flows like water, and the sex is near constant and deliciously debauched. When six uppity twenty-somethings gather at the rectory for a careless weekend away, things quickly go awry. And when someone named Johnny begins leaving threatening letters around the house, the group is thoroughly shaken—no one has any clue who this “Johnny” could be.

Qualcuno mi chiede ancora de "La pioggia di Roseto". Fu un componimentino di nessuna pretesa, parodia della fin troppo osannata "La pioggia nel pineto" di D'Annunzio, che scrissi nel 2011 e che inclusi in un volumetto dal titolo "Duepuntozero", ormai pressoché introvabile, e che oggi comprerebbe solo qualche imbecille o qualche elettore della sedicente opposizione. A volte coincidono. Ho deciso di ricavarne un audiolibro e un podcast per ringraziare quanti mi onorano del proprio affetto e riservano alle mie nullaggini il loro ricordo.

Charles Highway, a bright, egotistical Oxford student and soon-to-be Great Novelist, spends the eve of his twentieth birthday reflecting on his adolescence—at times stimulating, often embarrassing, and never nearly as debauched as he’d have liked. Until he meets Rachel Noyes, an elusive, unattainable, manic pixie mystery of a girl whom Charles quickly becomes entranced by. He meticulously draws up battle plans and strategies for how to seduce Rachel, and thus the “Rachel Papers” are born.

Richard Tull, a failed and disillusioned novelist, seethes with envy as he watches his longtime friend Gwyn Barry, a talentless, populist charlatan, rise to literary superstardom. Barry is adored by readers, celebrated by critics, and constantly in the public eye, while Tull sinks deeper into middle-aged obscurity, unable to escape the evidence of his own defeat. In a trance of impotent rage, Tull devises a vicious plan to ruin his friend—or at least hurt him as badly as possible—and finds himself tumbling into London’s criminal underworld, as well as the darkest precincts of his own soul.

As adults, the two boys unhappily share a tiny apartment in London.
